A medicament delivery device comprising:
- a sensor module comprising:
- a sensor housing, and
- at least one sensor disposed in the sensor housing;
- and
- an injector module comprising:
- an injector module housing,
- a reservoir disposed in the injector module housing, the reservoir adapted to be filled with a medicament to be delivered to a patient,
